2010 ART EXHIBITS
LIVING AMONG GIANTS
Seeing the Forest for the Trees
The new exhibition which opens on February 8, 2010 in the Marie L. Matthews Gallery at Johnson Education Center challenges viewers to stop and consider the magnificent beauty of individual trees. Considered the oldest and largest living things on the planet, trees are often “overlooked and under appreciated on their own merit,” says D&R Greenway Curator Jack Koeppel. Trees help make life on earth possible. D&R Greenway has collected an impressive body of work for this show that captures the inner soul of these living giants and presents them in the form of captivating tree portraits.
"I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beech-tree, or a yellow birch, or an acquaintance among the pines." Henry David Thoreau
The luminous canvases of Manayunk (Philadelphia) artist Clay Johnson are combined with the work of several area photographers. D&R Greenway is pleased to welcome Maia Reim as co-curator of this exhibition. Ms. Reim has laced together many photographic images that are both haunting and mysterious. There will be an artists’ opening reception on Friday evening, February 26, from 5:30pm – 7:30 pm. RSVPs helpful for planning purposes: call 609.924.4646.
Photographers exhibiting in LIVING AMONG GIANTS are: Alice Grebanier, Clem Fiori, Bennett Povlow, Igor Svibilsky, Mary Leck, Frank Magalhaes, Tasha O'Neill, Maia Reim, Olga Sergyeyva, and Barbara Warren.
A poetry reading and reception is planned for Friday, March 19, 2010, 6:00 - 8:00 pm in conjunction with this exhibition. Editors and Poets, Lois and Lee Harrod will host the reception and Flautist and Poet and Judith McNally will perform her music. RSVPs helpful by calling 609.924.4646.
